I'm currently using the Airports internet, what if I do any type of illegal activity..? What would happen? Can they trace me still or will I remain anonymous.

They can find your physical IP-address (not the one you send out to the internet) and your MAC-Address.
MAC-addresses (Media Access Control) is an unique number given to each PC, it includes info about the hardware etc. but also used to communicate over Ethernet connections. If they find your MAC (and you didn't spoofed it), they just find you. :) Spoof your MAC-address (Physical IP changes together I think), and use Tor/Good VPN. That should be okay. ;) (Aug 13, 2014 09:00 AM)Niely Wrote: They can find your physical IP-address (not the one you send out to the internet) and your MAC-Address. Thanks bud, this helped me out! 🤝
You should be able to get away with quite a few things, but as Niely said, be careful.
I was thinking more along the lines of you doing things like Man-in-the-Middle attacks on people also on the airport connection, but it doesn't seem like you'll be doing that.
You should look more into computer forensics and networking, if you think just by using a VPN or Tor that you are safe.

It happened to a friend in college of mine. Turns out his real MAC address was the same as a professor who got his laptop on the other side of the country.
